Goatse.cx Is For Sale

Posted by kdawson on from the dept.-would-be-redundant dept.

fm6 writes "The domain goatse.cx is being auctioned. Bidding, at the time of posting, has reached $15K after 109 bids (with 6 days to go). Some of you will recall that this site used to be linked in a lot of Slashdot articles, despite having only a few pages. Boing Boing, with their usual creativity, has managed to depict Goatse's most commonly linked photo while still remaining within the bounds of good taste."

    Unfortunately, it appears the the goatse.cx site is down. Fortunately, there's a mirror available at goatse.ch and goatse.cz.

    You could put google adds on it but I shudder to think what it would advertise

    AdSense program policies: no pornography, adult, or mature content. But of course there are plenty of other advertising companies.

    Yes you do. They are very serious about that. They will track you down. If you don't have the money you can expect serious trouble.

    Good luck.

  5. TOS by tepples · · Score: 3, Informative

    Anyone else finds it pretty unfair that the registrar took the domain back from its owner, then allows someone else to buy it for hundreds of dollars? If the original buyer agreed in the TOS that the domain can be seized and resold if obscene content is posted, then it's fair.

    Tubgirl's gross-out value was slightly ruined for me after I found out it's actually an orange juice enema she's expelling, rather than liquid poop, which is the instinctive assumption.
